Steaming Vegetables

For best results when steaming vegetables:

1.Before steaming, thoroughly clean the vegetables. Cut off the stems and peel if desired.

2.Cut pieces to desired size. The smaller the piece the faster that it will cook.

3.To retain vegetable flavour and nutrients steam until just tender, but they should still be slightly firm.

4.Frozen vegetables should be defrosted before steaming.
